Practicum overview
The Environmental Policy and Management program practicum (ENV 296; 6 units) is an opportunity for students to integrate and apply their coursework to a problem in a practical applied professional setting, and provide students with experience in the professional field. The practicum is intended to be an experiential exercise in professional development (rather than a pure research project). Students are expected to develop a practicum proposal that states how the practicum is envisioned to further their individual career objectives.
Your Practicum Proposal and Practicum Report and deliverable are two of four components of your Comprehensive Exam.
